Purcell wrote "The Masque of the Seasons", basically one act of "The fairy queen" music.

And Webern "Im Sommerwind", one of the most luxurious late romantic pieces, again a demonstration that virtually all the "modernists" could have kept writing 1st class late romantic music if they had wanted to.

Joseph Canteloube (1879-1957) joined the Vichy government in 1941...He has a knack for the utmost gorgeous melodies ( cfr. the famous Chants d'Auvergne). Triptyque for soprano and orchestra starts with a lucious "Offrande à l'été". The poetry by Roger Frène is ...not up to Baudelaire/Verlaine standards. But these 16 minutes of very-late Romantic, quasi Impressionistic vocal /orchestral "beauté exquise" never fail to pull at my heart strings....
